Komosti and welcome back for the second leg of the relay here at the center of Eastern Europe, Chihiro, Petrova! The torch is now coming to the city that hosted the 11th ISC Session which gave Hinawa the rights to host the games! Everyone here is so excited and let's get down to the action!

The main venue for the torch relay in Petrova is the Relay Pavillion at the International Village, Chihiro. So to prepare for the festivities today, King Matthias ordered a P60,000 temporary relay pavillion to be constructed on top of the International Village Lake with a capacity of 1,000. The International Village was chosen as the main venue since the Int'l Village is one of the main landmarks and tourist spots of the city. The relay of the biggest and most exciting games yet truly deserves a place full of excitement, joy, celebration and unity. International Village and Chihiro as a whole will be providing this kind of environment for today's leg of the relay as the streets of the city are filled with festivities.

The torch will be coming from the west, Rorysville. Due to several storms in the Atlantic Ocean, the airplane was delayed for about 3 hours and was unable to land in time in Petrova. So the King made a smart decision to intercept the airplane carrying the torch using a private helicopter so that the torch can quickly make its way to the starting venue: the Grapotsch Palace. Finally, at noon, the helicopter manages to land in the palace full of a huge crowd. The chosen holders of the relay are famous Petrovar athletes. Out of the helicopter comes Billy Ileshenko, a famous Petrovar gymnast who placed 1st place at the June Petrolympics. He will be going to Seto to represent Petrova in gymnastics.

She then passes the torch to her mom, the Queen of Petrova, HSH Queen Katarina, who in turn passes the torch to the King of Petrova, HSH King Matthias. He then pulls out another torch, a custom made Royal Torch of Petrova and lights that with the fire from Raffore Islands. King Matthias then walks to the center of the pavillion to the relay cauldron. He then throws the Royal Torch up and suddenly the cauldron lights up and the crowd goes wild! The King then makes a short speech.

Good evening everyone. It has been a pleasure for us Petrovars to host the second stretch of the relay. This is definitely a special event that we Petrovars look forward to every simlympic games.
